Abstract: The present disclosure describes embodiments of a construction apparatus, or tool, that can drive and remove fasteners (e.g., staples). These embodiments have a handle portion, a head portion, and a fastener guide that orients the fastener in a ready-to-be deployed state. Actuation of the head portion can transmit a driving force to the fastener, thereby moving the fastener from the ready-to-be deployed state to a deployed state, which in one example drive the fastener into a target object (e.g., a board). The construction apparatus can also come equipped with a remover element that can transmit a removal force applied to the construction tool to the fastener. In one embodiment, the construction apparatus finds particular use with electrical staples, as the proposed designs can prevent damage to electrical cables, prevent the end user from striking his hand and fingers, and eliminate the need for carrying and/or using additional tools to mount and remove staples.

Abstract: A device for removing staples from papers, cloth, or other material without tearing or mutilating the material. The device utilizes a heel of palm to finger gripping action to facilitate a more natural action for removing staples. Staples are extracted by way of a jaw which opposes a wedge-shaped piece to an abutting plate piece, which straightens the staple while simultaneously pulling it out of the paper in a perpendicular direction. The wedge-shaped piece includes a portion where its width and thickness increase to dimensions wherein the sum of the width plus twice the thickness exceeds the slightly less than the total length of the three sides of the staples being removed, thus facilitating complete extraction. The device is readily incorporated into a standard stapler, so that both staple insertion and staple removing functionality are readily incorporated within a single device.
